Omschrijving
The essays in this collection focus on two areas of inquiry: original editing problems associated with various atlases, from the earliest to the most recent; and the analysis of a variety of different atlases, to give a diverse picture of an important reference work as it has evolved through the ages.
'This outstanding collection of essays by leading scholars will undoubtedly encourage further research.'
'Editing Early and Historical Atlases is an excellent contribution – highly readable and well-written – and very welcome in the general history of atlases. It fills a valuable and very lacking need for information to further our understanding of this bibliographic genre, enhancing our appreciation of atlases without destroying the beauty and mystery of these works.'
Joan Winearls is the Map Librarian at the University of Toronto. She is author of Mapping Upper Canada, 1780-1867.
